Space Shuttle "Atlantis" (Modified) - by MrCreebert

Description


Use "high" physics detail!

This is a modified version of the Atlantis spaceshuttle used for storing and delivering cargo to space using its large cargo bay (It features a default Gas tank array which you can modify to your liking). It is close to but not supposed to be a 100% accurate 1:1 scale Atlantis shuttle as it features notable differences to the real version
Using the external fuel tank alone, it has a great enough range to reach the moon
If you encounter any problems, make sure to enable infinite fuel, infinite electric and disable vehicle damage

The shuttle may occasionally tip over during the SRB seperation. Make sure not too much weight is applied to the orbiter or external fuel tank to maintain balance



How to get inside:
  • Enter the elevator tower on the other side of the launch pad
  • Press the button to go up
  • Once youre up, open the entrance hatch to the shuttle and go inside (and close it afterwards)

Pre-Launch Checklist:
  • (Overhead Panel) Enable Batt 1 & Batt 2
  • (Middle Left Panel) Enable Dome lights if required
  • (Middle Top Panel) Set nav lights as required

  • (Middle Panel) Unfold Rudder
  • (Right Panel) Enable Engine Power L, CTR & R
  • Flip switches labeled "L,CTR & R" next to engine power switches

  • Enable "Main Hyd Press 1, 2 & 3"
  • Ensure throttle is set to max
  • (Bottom Front Panel) Enable "SRBS AUTO Release"

Life Support Checklist:
  • (Left Panel) Enable Cabin & Lower Bay Fan 1-2
  • Turn on "Cabin Temp CNTRL"
  • Enable "Composition Control"
  • Monitor cabin pressure: 1~ Atm
  • In case of pressure loss enable "Pressurize 1" or "Pressurize 2" until optimal cabin pressure

Launch:
  • (Bottom Front Panel) Start Launch Sequence
  • Abort by pressing again, if any abnormalities are seen
  • Monitor elevator seperation

  • (Middle Panel) "Launch Stabilizer" Indicator should be enabled until exiting atmosphere

  • Do not change throttle away from its max setting until the "Launch Stabilizer" light is extinguished (still recommended to keep at max throttle though)
  • Once out of fuel, the SRBS will automatically seperate (May cause the shuttle to flip over, but just sometimes :v )
  • Orbiter now depends on orange external fuel tank to power the 3 main Thrusters. (They could theoretically get you all the way to the moon)
  • Enable "Disconnect External Tank" once desired to seperate from external fuel tank
  • Enable "OMS 1 & 2 Arm" (OMS engines use the orbiters fuel tank)


Please tell me if you find or have any issues with my shuttle!
Due to the physics engine and behaviour of space itself, it is very prone to glitches and bugs, im trying my best to prevent them!

Yeah I dont really know anymore why i made them turn on some time after launching, I could probably change that pretty easily though

shuttle main engines only work when using infinite fuel :(

@ieatdonutsfordinerrr IT DOES JUST LOOK AROUND MATE

how do you even activate the shuttle engines? the instructions don't even mention how to activate them, the only way i managed to activate them was to turn on infinite fuel. the launch stabilizer wont turn off as i cant find the button and the external tank wont even disconnect, this thing has soo many issues!!!! :steamthumbsdown::steamthumbsdown:
